"That's what the sign says"

This phrase will go down in our training history.It was coined by the Gunn to some people we were riding with on Sunday who obviously couldn't follow or read signs. We had just passed a huge sign that said Highway 71 and they thought we were going the wrong way, that we needed to be on 71. Kelly let them know we were and they were just perplexed as to how she knew that. Out came the comment... OH BOY! We did have a great ride after getting warmed up and getting past the 'packs'. Even though we wouldn't consider ourselves the most experienced riders, we do know what the term, 'on your left' means and especially, 'CAR BACK'. We were holding our breath as we watched people riding four across as a car was trying to get by. Those are the people that give bikers a bad name and I was getting pretty riled up because some morons were acting so reckless. One woman even had a mirror and she couldn't see or hear me, I guess, as I gave her an 'on your left'- she didn't even budge or try to get over. Yes, frustrating. Other than those few 'moments', the rest of the ride was full of hills and laughs. More time in the seat....
